Windows 7: Compatability issue with Elder Scrolls: Oblivion

I recently bought Oblivion from steam, and when I first started the game it would freeze almost instantly. I searched the internet and found a forum post that suggested that I run the compatability troubleshooter, which set it to Xp (service pack 2), and now when I try to play the game I get to the launcher and when I hit play, it asks me for permission, it says that Oblivion.exe would like to make changes to this computer, I hit yes, the screen goes black for a second and acts like it is about to do something, then it goes back to the launcher, and no matter how many times I hit play, it will keep asking for permission, and will never run, also, yes I am running the game as administrator.

Thanks for trying to help rap33042, however I don't have a disk since I bought it off of steam, and there is no .iso. Also it doesn't seem to matter if I run the launcher or Oblivion.exe, I still have the same problem, it will just keep asking me for permission, even if I try to run the game as administrator. Thanks for the tweak guide by the way, if I ever get this game working, I will be using it.

Oblivion is an awsome game, this is the second time I bought it, it was on sale so I had to get it. Also, I do not know how to disable UAC, and so far I have only gone as low as XP service pack 2, I will try to go lower and see how that works.

- OK, I've been thinking about getting this game. Worth it?
- Any Windows 7 x64-bit issue with Steam?
BTW I already have Steam so the "Steam bites" comments are unnecessary as I personally have no issue...
